    This year is extremely atypical. This is the first week here we’ve had it substantially below freezing. we haven’t dropped below zero… at all.

    Its freakishly mild. to the point that all the idiots that go ice fishing… are whining about not being able to drive the decidedly overpriced trucks out onto the ice like they’ve always been before. yes, I enjoy the irony there. Also, little known fact. When you drive on lake ice, your insurance is suspended.
